Ethical MarketsTrendspotting

The editors of The Community Investment Network (“CIN”) have created a special section on the financial crisis to help community leaders navigate the various mortgage assistance programs that are emerging.

You can find this new on-line resource at: http://www.communityinvestmentnetwork.org/special-sections/spotlight-on-subprime-mortgage-issues/

“Spotlight on the Mortgage Crisis” – “Home Mortgage Assistance Programs” features
Bank Mortgage Assistance Programs (direct links to individual banks)
Other Mortgage Assistance Programs (such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac)
Federal Reserve Foreclosure Resources (New England Fed, Philadelphia Fed)
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assistance
The NCRC’s “HELP Now” program.

And there daily updates on Actions in the Congress; National Community Reinvestment Coalition activities; Commentary; Research and Insights; and Subprime in the News.

We invite lenders, community advocates, and others to forward information on other mortgage assistance programs to us at: [email protected]
